Ou’s Healing Music Therapy Improves Sleeping Patterns and Treats a Variety of Physical and Psychological Conditions

——Ou’s Healing Music Therapy’s Achievements and the Development and Application of Healing Devices.
By Ou, Wen Wei

Sleeping problems have become a common issue in modern society. Insomnia currently hampers health and seriously affects people’s living, work, and overall well-being. The World Health Organization has listed insomnia as the fifth largest medical problem in society, and advises that caring for health should begin with paying attention to sleep. A lack of sleep may seem to have a minor affect on health but, over time, it can result in more serious consequences in both economic development and social stability.

I have spent more than forty years of research on this subject and, with repeated practice, have concluded that sound waves contain both intelligible messages and energy, and that different types of sounds produce specific effects on a person’s physical and mental condition. Sounds carrying peaceful, auspicious and harmonious mes-sages and energy can relax a person’s body and mind so that he can easily enter into a sleep state, adjust immunity and actively assist in the recovery of illness and injury.

Different sounds in nature give people different corresponding responses, influencing both emotions and physical bodies. Various complex emotions can be represented as specific sounds and may be presented through music. Different emotional content will yield different results: the expressions of divine love, benevolence, happiness, and joy will bring happiness and also entertain people; however, the expression of hate, anger, sorrow, and fear will bring harm to people. A sound wave is energy, and also carries a discernible message. Sound waves based on kindness and benevolence will naturally include the energies and message of kindness and benevolence. Transmitting an intelligible message and energy of kindness and benevolence to people bestows positive benefits on their bodies, hearts and souls. The ancient people believed the oldest and the most natural music came from sounds found in our environment, from human beings, and in the universe itself. The inner contents of these sounds then extend outward, in harmony, from their sources. When music is created by human beings, people can make good use of suitable strong-versus-weak and long-versus-short sounds to express understanding and feelings toward myriad phenomena in the universe using rhythm; this makes music a wonderful modality to transmit rich inner sentiments, aspirations and interests. As a result, music can reflect the characteristics of everything in nature, the subtle connections existing between them, and more. If music is created through achieving a high state of conforming to heaven and earth and harmony with Yin and Yang, it can create an effect of adjusting and soothing the heart, will, vital energy and blood circulation, and therefore prolong life.

The ancient people in China promoted Ngahyin chanting and singing. Its characteristics include rich sentiments and noble and elegant artistic qualities through tranquil and relaxing intonations. Additionally, the ancient Chinese suggested singing without prior composition, chanting spontaneously. These sounds, rhythms and tones of ancient Chinese Ngahyin chanting and singing may be considered as the most classical, most natural, and least contrived music. Listening to a Ngahyin chant or song and chanting can contribute to peace of mind, enhance one’s personal nature, cultivate the heart and improve health. It is as The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic states: “They were of pure virtue and entirely in accord with the Way. They adapted themselves to [the regulation] of yin and yang and lived in harmony with the four seasons. They left the world and departed from the mundane. They accumulated essence and preserved their spirits. They roamed between heaven and earth. Their vision and hearing went beyond the eight reaches.”

My musical works were created according to this understanding of music, and so the songs I write and sing (including Ngahyin chants, recitations and other sound products) contain kind and benevolent messages and energy, clearly benefiting people’s health physically, mentally and spiritually. I added the use of my deeply resonant voice to gently convey kind and benevolent messages and energy, further enhancing the healing effects. During these past few years, surveying over twenty thousand students’ in China and other countries, all have received excellent results. Thereafter, I named the method of using the sounds of my songs, chants, recitations, etc. to heal people as “Ou’s Healing Music Therapy”.

Since 2008 I applied Ou’s Healing Music Therapy using systematic experiments to heal special needs children with genetic disorders and patients with serious and chronic diseases. All have achieved outstanding results.

Special needs children mainly refer to children that have physical and mental obstacles in intelligence, language, hearing, vision, psychology, learning ability, physical movement, etc., due to genetic or developmental factors.

According to available statistics, there are, currently, in China, approximately 15 million people who have intellectual disabilities, over 20 million people with hearing and language disabilities, and nearly 1.6 million children with autism. For these children, medical science has yet to find an effective method to heal or restore them to normal levels of functioning. People from all walks of life continue to seek solutions encountering numerous challenges.

Since June 2008, under my authorization and direction, the Guangzhou Gaoya Culture Propagation Ltd. organized a special needs children’s music therapy group, using Ou’s Healing Music Therapy to treat these children. More than 30 special needs children attended this group regularly.

1. Healing Music Therapy Subjects: special needs children (from 3 months old to 21 years old) with their parents. From childhood, they were respectively diagnosed with “cerebrum and cerebellum atrophy”, “hydrocephalus”, “grey and white matter brain abnormalities”, “cerebral hypoplasia”, “congenital heart disease”, etc. As they grew, some went to see specialists in the major hospitals of Guangzhou city and were diagnosed with “intellectual disabilities”, “mentally retardation”, “autism”, “hyperactivity”, “hearing impairments”, “emotional disorders”, “behavioral disorders”, etc.

2. Healing Music Therapy Tools: musical albums containing songs and Ngahyin chanting, composed and performed by me.

3. Healing Music Therapy Method:
(1) The mental cultivation process used in Ou’s Healing Music Therapy involves “being calm, kind, peaceful, healthy, and happy.” We requested parents to try their best to use these mental attitudes while doing healing music therapy with their children, and while caring for and educating them.
(2) Attend group Healing Music Therapy once weekly for 3 hours each session.
(3) Do Healing Music Therapy at home every day for at least one hour.
(4) The Healing Music Therapy method may be done sitting, lying down, or standing. Simply relax the body and mind. For best results, slightly close eyes and use the heart to listen and to imitate the music you are hearing.
(5) Parents are asked to document their children’s conditions throughout the process and summarize their changes throughout the process.

According to responses, in the five years of Healing Music Therapy (from 2008 to June 2013), special needs children participating in the Healing Music Therapy all showed improvement. The results of the children who continued with Healing Music Therapy for a half year more are especially significant. 30% of the children had their physical and mental conditions improve to normal levels, able to attend mainstream elementary schools and mid-dle schools on a full time basis. Every child had various degrees of positive changes physically and mentally, illus-trated in the following ways:
1. Improved sleep, stronger body composition and physiological development of the body trending towards normal.
2. More balanced and calm emotional states with more self-control.
3. Improved physical, cognitive, living and self-care ability; increased comprehension, language, memory, environmental adaptation, and communication skills have all been documented.

In addition to holding a Healing Music Therapy group for special needs children, we also established a Healing Music Therapy group for patients with chronic and serious diseases.

The most common diseases of this group consisted of various end stage cancers, serious insomnia, cardio-vascular disease, traumatic sequelae, mental disorders and depression. Combining daily self Healing Music Therapy and group Healing Music Therapy sessions twice a month, the participants received gradual, excellent adjustments and recovery from their physical conditions, and improvement in their hearts and souls. From Aug 2008 to the end of 2012, there were more than 7000 attendances to the Guangzhou Gaoya Culture Propagation Lid. Healing Music Therapy sessions. These participants achieved outstanding results.

In 2012 the Gaoya Culture Propagation Ltd. conducted conclusive research on 49 Pangu Shengong students attending the chronic disease Healing Music Therapy sessions for over 3 years. Three methods were used to gather and organize the data: summaries in writing, group communication, and surveys. A summary listing the students’ physical and mental improvements after practicing Ou’s Healing Music Therapy can be found in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2.

Summarizing the five year experiences of Healing Music Therapy participants, the common effects are reported below:

First, the participants experienced noticeable changes in vitality, appearance and their mindsets. They felt calmer, more tolerant, pleasant, and energetic than before. The unbalanced mindsets of anxiety, emotional disturbance, and depression gradually improved. Confidence and vitality increased significantly. Many felt and looked younger.

Second, participants’ life force and immunity gradually improved, demonstrated by fewer colds and other infections. Illnesses and pains were eased or even disappeared as their bodily functions were strengthened and adjusted. Most conditions improved, with some totally recovered. As conditions improved or recovered, many of their medical expenses were noticeably reduced, resulting in less pressure and burden placed on their families. Self-care and self-healing capabilities were gradually and greatly improved.

Lastly, practicing Ou’s Healing Music Therapy not only allows participants to help themselves but also allows them to assist others restore health physically and mentally. There are many participants in these classes, who, after achieving good results, actively made good use of this method to help other people in need. They learned to face diseases calmly and confidently, and used Ou’s Healing Music Therapy to overcome suffering and illness. Through Healing Music Therapy they convey positive energy and a kind and loving intention, cultivating healthy sentiments of loving Great Nature and their fellow human beings. Family relationships improve as they learn to maintain a peaceful, tolerant, and kind heart in the face of difficulties and hardships. This improves the quality of their lives and grants deeper understanding of the value and meaning of life.

The Guangdong Zhongshan Mingxin Yuan Health Industrial Ltd. had my authorization to use modern technology to make Ou’s Audio Frequency Oscillator series products (Sound Wave Recovery Oscillator, Sound Wave Vibrating Balance Exercising Machine, Music Vibrating Sofa and Music Sleeping Bed).

These products have gone through clinical trials at the clinic in Health Department Senior Corps of the country, Zhongshan Academy of Medical Sciences in Zhongshan University, and the Guangzhou Traditional Chi-nese Medical University. The results confirmed the products’ curative effects and encouraged their use.

After a tremendous amount of clinical experiments, these products proved an efficacy of 90% for treating high blood pressure, stroke sequel, gout, insomnia, neurosis, epilepsy, stomach and intestinal disorders, constipation, prostatic hyperplasia, uterine and fibroid tumor of the uterus, tubal occlusion, etc. For more detailed information, please see the appendix 3.

The Ou’s Healing Music Therapy experimental groups’ results, Ou’s Healing Music Therapy equipment clinical trials results and the popularity of listening to Ou’s Healing Music CD’s prove that Ou’s Healing Music Therapy improves insomnia, difficulty in sleeping secondary to other conditions, and other illnesses produced by poor sleep. The results further indicate that Ou’s Healing Music Therapy is aligned with the ancient Chinese musical theory of sound waves containing both coherent messages and energy. Sound waves based on kindness and benevolence naturally transmit the energy and message of kindness and benevolence. Transmitting an intelligible message of kindness and benevolence to other people induces positive benefits on their physical bodies, hearts and minds.
